Saving z-axis projection values within a macro

[Chang, Joshua]

Hi,
I would like to write a macro to do some processing on a stack and then save
the z-axis profile means.

After I do the z-axis mapping, I can save the results using the "Save..."
button, but when I'm recording a macro nothing shows up when clicking the
Save button.

Is there some way I can save these values or do I need to do it manually?

Thanks in advance

Josh,

The Plot.getValues(xvalues, yvalues); macro function does this.

Once you have the two arrays of x and y values, you can write them in
a file with the print function as shown in a recent post by Wayne :

f = File.open(getDirectory("home")+"profile.xls");
  for (i=0; i<xvalues.length; i++)
      print(f, xvalues[i]+"\t"+yvalues[i]);

Jerome.
